Terms of Service
Effective date: November 2025
1. INTRODUCTION
These Terms of Service (\"Terms\") govern your access to and use of the websites operated by Nomad Inc., including any related booking pages, content, features, or services (collectively, the \"Site\" and \"Services\").
The Site is operated by Nomad Inc., a Delaware corporation (\"Nomad Inc,\" \"Company,\" \"we,\" \"us,\" or \"our\"). We operate short-term rental properties located in Virginia, Vermont, New York, and Maine.
By accessing or using the Site or making a booking through the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
You may be subject to additional terms or house rules in connection with specific properties or stays. In the event of a conflict, those specific terms or house rules will control for that stay.
2. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Site or make a booking. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
3. BOOKINGS, PAYMENTS, AND CANCELLATIONS
(a) Bookings When you make a reservation through the Site, you are offering to book a stay at one of our properties subject to these Terms, the listing details, and any applicable house rules. We may accept or reject any booking at our discretion, including if we suspect fraud, misuse, or error.
(b) Payments You authorize us and our third-party payment processors (such as Stripe and other providers) to charge your selected payment method for the full booking amount, including nightly rates, taxes, fees, and any authorized add-ons or packages.
We do not store full payment card details on our own servers. Payment processing is handled by third-party PCI-compliant processors.
(c) Cancellation and Refund Policy Our standard cancellation policy is:
If you cancel more than 120 hours before the scheduled local check-in time: We provide a full refund of the booking amount, minus the non-refundable credit card processing fee charged by the payment processor.
If you cancel 120 hours or less before the scheduled local check-in time: We do not provide refunds for any reason, including weather-related cancellations, road conditions, travel delays, or personal circumstances.
Weather and road conditions: Because our properties are located in mountain and rural areas, weather, road, and driving conditions can be unpredictable. By booking, you acknowledge this risk and agree that no refunds are provided for weather-related cancellations inside 120 hours of the scheduled local check-in time.
Any alternative or property-specific cancellation terms stated on the booking page or in your confirmation email will apply in addition to, or instead of, the above where clearly indicated. We may, but are not obligated to, offer credits or rescheduling options at our sole discretion.
(d) Security Deposits and Damage Where applicable, you may be charged or have your payment method pre-authorized for a security deposit and/or fees for excessive cleaning, property damage, violation of house rules, unpaid pet fees or pet-related damage, or unauthorized occupancy (for example, more guests than booked or unapproved events). For direct bookings, the $500 damage deposit is a pre-authorization (hold), not an actual charge. It may be placed before check-in, or immediately for same-day and next-day bookings, and released after checkout if there is no damage.
By booking, you authorize us to charge or pre-authorize your payment method for such amounts as permitted by law and the applicable house rules. Documentation of damage or rule violations may include photos, videos, and cleaner/maintenance reports.

Guests only - paid facility balls, facility clubs, and waiver required
Purchase facility balls for the $5,000 Hole-in-One Challenge.
The Hole-in-One Challenge at {{name}} is played from the posted shoreline platform toward the floating island hole in the private pond. These official rules summarize the posted signs, house rules, waiver terms, purchase rules, safety requirements, prize eligibility, and claim process guests must follow before taking a shot. To qualify, a facility ball must finish in the regulation cup as the target sits during play. Wind, waves, target movement, distance, bounce, water level, and pond conditions are part of the challenge. Participants may not touch, move, anchor, retrieve, inspect, or adjust the target or pond setup.
Prize$5,000 after verification
PackagesRed 45-ball boxes are $99 and brown 20-ball boxes are $49
EligibilityBooking guest's overnight group and invitees
Claim windowEmail within 12 hours
Purchase and access
Guests must scan the posted QR code, complete the activity waiver, purchase facility balls, and use the assigned red 45-ball box or brown 20-ball box before playing.
Red 45-ball boxes include 45 facility balls for $99, and brown 20-ball boxes include 20 facility balls for $49.
Each purchase is tied to one booking, one purchaser name, and one assigned box. Lock codes may be shared only with overnight guests in the same booking who have signed the required waiver. They are for the current stay only and may not be reused, resold, transferred outside that group, shared publicly, or saved for a future stay.
Unused balls do not roll over to a future stay. Purchased balls must be used only during the current booking and only for the Hole-in-One Challenge.
All sales are final after a valid lock code is delivered, except when a Nomad-controlled equipment, lock, box, code, or access issue prevents play before any shot is taken. If Nomad confirms a qualifying access issue before play starts, Nomad may provide a replacement code or refund the affected purchase.
Guests must verify box contents before the first shot and report missing balls, broken locks, damaged boxes, unsafe equipment, damaged clubs, target issues, or camera issues before play starts or continues.
Disputes about missing balls, box contents, or equipment condition after play begins may be denied if Nomad cannot verify the issue.
Eligibility and prize limits
Prize eligibility is limited to overnight guests and people expressly invited by the booking guest during that stay.
Random visitors, drive-up participants, neighbors, social-media visitors, or anyone not connected to the booking guest are not prize-eligible.
Every participant must complete the required waiver before playing.
The winner must be at least 18 years old to receive the cash payout directly. If a minor makes a verified winning shot, payout is made only to the parent or legal guardian after verification and required tax paperwork.
Current or former professional golfers, collegiate golfers, golf coaches, instructors, or paid golf trainers are not eligible for the prize.
Each booking is eligible for one verified prize win. Each participant is eligible for one claim review per booking.
Nomad may deny prize eligibility if identity, booking connection, waiver status, purchase record, assigned box, or eligibility cannot be verified.
Equipment and valid attempts
Facility balls only. Personal balls are not allowed and void prize eligibility.
Facility clubs only. Personal clubs, training aids, automated launchers, rangefinders, alignment sticks, modified clubs, or other non-Nomad equipment are not allowed. After play, return the assigned red 45-ball box(es) or brown 20-ball box(es) and facility clubs to the basement shelf.
Play only from the posted platform. Shots from grass, shoreline, dock, deck edge, boats, kayaks, or any other location do not qualify.
One golfer may stand on the platform at a time. Everyone else must stay behind the safety line until the platform is clear.
A valid prize attempt is one clean strike of one facility ball from the posted platform using a facility club.
Mulligans, dropped balls, re-hit balls, or second strikes of the same ball do not create a valid prize attempt.
Guests must inspect the platform, club, and immediate surroundings before play and stop if conditions appear unsafe.
Safety and pond rules
Stop play immediately if people, pets, boats, kayaks, wildlife, vehicles, or equipment enter the shot path or danger area.
Stop play immediately during lightning, thunder, high winds, heavy rain, poor visibility, darkness, or other unsafe conditions.
No alcohol on the platform during challenge play. No glass containers near the platform, dock, boxes, locks, boats, kayaks, or pond.
No unsafe swings and no shots toward people, pets, buildings, vehicles, cameras, equipment, neighboring property, or privacy-sensitive areas.
No swimming, ball retrieval, kayaking, boating, or water entry while challenge play is active. The pond is closed to boats and kayaks during active challenge play.
Do not enter the pond to inspect, retrieve, stage, move, or confirm any ball.
Do not touch, move, anchor, rotate, adjust, shake, splash, or interfere with the floating target, cup, flagstick, anchors, chains, cameras, internet equipment, boxes, locks, balls, clubs, signage, or pond setup.
No one may stand near the target, distract shooters, create waves, shake anchors, splash water, or interfere with a shot.
Follow all posted signs, house rules, waiver terms, booking terms, and host instructions.
Winning shot and camera eligibility
To qualify for prize review, a facility ball must finish in the regulation cup on the floating island target.
Hitting the green, target, flagstick, cup rim, cup edge, platform, water, or any non-cup surface is not a winning shot.
The shot must be made from the posted platform with one clean strike using a facility club and facility ball.
The shot must occur no later than 30 minutes after the official local sunset time for that date unless Nomad expressly opens a supervised night-play window in writing.
If cameras are down, blocked, offline, misaligned, too dark, or otherwise unable to support verification, play is casual-only and not prize-eligible until Nomad restores prize eligibility.
Claims, review, and payout
Prize claims must be emailed to Nomad within 12 hours of the claimed shot.
Claims must include guest name, booking details, approximate shot time, assigned box number, color, package size, and any phone video.
Participants should preserve the assigned box, lock, remaining balls, and club until Nomad completes review.
Guest phone video, drone footage, social videos, bystander statements, or witness claims may help review but never replace Nomad verification.
Nomad may review CCTV, purchase records, waiver records, box assignment, facility-ball status, target condition, physical cup inspection, guest-submitted video, witness statements, and booking records.
If available footage is unclear, Nomad may physically inspect the cup and target before approving or denying the claim.
Claims are reviewed within 14 days and are not paid instantly. Nomad's decision is final after reasonable review.
Approved prize payouts are made by ACH, wire, or paper check. Winner must complete identity verification and any required tax paperwork before payout.
Prize payment timing begins only after Nomad approves the claim and receives required payout and tax information. Any approved claim remains subject to applicable law.
Disqualification and pilot rules
Fraud, tampering, unsafe play, false statements, altered evidence, camera interference, equipment interference, or rule violations void purchase eligibility and prize eligibility.
A claim may be denied or revoked if rules were violated, evidence is inconclusive, fraud is suspected, verification cannot be completed, or the participant otherwise failed to follow posted rules.
Nomad may close, suspend, or convert the challenge to casual-only play for weather, maintenance, camera outages, target issues, pond conditions, safety concerns, property damage, suspected abuse, or operational reasons.
Pricing, hours, prize eligibility, equipment, verification standards, and rules may change during the pilot period as Nomad gathers real operating data.
The current rules in effect at the time of purchase and play govern the challenge.
Privacy and legal terms
Challenge cameras are exterior-only and focused on areas needed for safety and prize verification, including the platform, pond approach, and target area. No cameras are inside the yurt or positioned to cover the hot tub, sauna entry, or other privacy-sensitive guest areas.
This page does not replace the signed waiver, booking terms, posted signs, or house rules. By playing, you acknowledge the waiver, accept the inherent risks of the activity, and agree to follow all current rules.

Official World Record
The World's Largest Yurt by bedrooms is near Shenandoah and Luray Caverns.
{{name}} holds the Official World Record title for Most Bedrooms in a Non-Collapsible Yurt. The certificate recognizes 6 fully enclosed bedrooms inside one continuous, permanent, round yurt structure on a fixed foundation in Luray, Virginia. Every full bedroom has a king-size bed, so the claim is not padded with bunk rooms, tiny beds, or curtain-divided sleeping corners.
Certificate issued February 15, 2026 for Most Bedrooms in a Non-Collapsible Yurt.
Record titleMost Bedrooms in a Non-Collapsible Yurt
Full bedrooms6 enclosed bedrooms, each with a king-size bed
Extra sleeping3 additional sleeping areas for flexible groups
StoriesThree levels for gathering and privacy
CapacitySleeps up to 16 guests
LocationLuray, Virginia near Shenandoah National Park
What the world record means
For guests, the record matters because the scale is actually usable: six private king bedrooms, not bunk rooms or sleeping corners dressed up as bedrooms.
The home also includes three full bathrooms, three additional sleeping areas, a loft, a private theater, a game room, and large gathering spaces designed for families, retreats, and group stays.
Guinness vs OWR clarification
This is an Official World Record certification, not a Guinness floor-area claim. Larger non-collapsible yurts exist by square footage, so our public claim stays precise: World's Largest Yurt by bedrooms.
How it was verified
Official World Record reviewed property visuals, floor-plan documentation, a witness statement, and construction confirmation materials. The guest-facing proof is simple: one permanent yurt, one fixed foundation, six full king bedrooms, and a certificate recognizing the record category.
Why guests care
The record is not just a plaque. It explains why {{name}} feels different from a normal cabin rental: a round cathedral great room, six private king bedrooms, resort-style entertainment, a private pond, and enough space for groups to stay together under one roof.
